Le Placard: Rotterdam Headphone Lounge

With a Rotterdam Headphone Lounge, V2_ links up with Le Placard, a nomadic festival that presents live concerts to audiences transmitted via headphones, while streaming simultaneously over the internet. The V2_ space will be transformed into a lounge where you can experience electronic music by plugging in your headphone.

Besides a cupboard, Le Placard is a headphone concert festival, initiated in 1998 by Parisian musician Erik Minkkinen. The festival plays with concentration, intimacy, time-warp and teleportation. Placard sessions can take totally different shapes: London Placard has 20-minute sets going on for twelve hours non-stop, Tokyo did one out in the Yoyogi park under a tree using the phone network. This year's edition had its kick-off in Montreal (Canada) on 2 June. V2_ will connect Rotterdam to international headphone concerts on 4 September.
